Part watched a YouTube video the other day about a 110 chassis swap.
The body was lifted back on complete, minus front wings, all interior seem to be fitted. It was lifted by a hiab type crane using straps attached to the roof rack.
Didn’t think the roof gutter would be strong enough or the roof rack come to think of it.
 
Body doesn't weigh that much tbh.
I disagree with that. having just done a body swap on my 110 from hardtop to station wagon I can confirm the hardtop body weighs more and two of us failed to lift it off so recuited another two friends. The station wagon body took three of us to lift back on and that is just the rear body and sides, no doors, and not the seatbox, interior, and bulkhead.

Not sure I would trust the roof gutters to lift the whole body but clearly it worked. i would trust my roof rack to take the weight but not the gutter.
